I realize this has mostly been a conversation with myself, but thanks to snowtrac and suprman for pitching in! For those in my position, looking to replace the power packs on a 12 or 24 v Warn, or Smittybilt, or milemarker, these are the real deal and what I am about to buy .. or 6 of what I...

I think I found the real deal.these guys in the U.K. Were the first to start using these, if the Internet forums are correct, and lots of guys here in the states were buying them from the U.K. And upgrading or fixing their Warn winches because of yearly failures of their control packs. Once...

I'll need to use 2 or bigger wire, which makes it hard to put the solenoid on the winch, so I may mount it either in the engine compartment or in the cab. The rear one, probably just above it under the bed. Truth is, I need to get my hands on it and see what's practical.

You aren't missing anything. You are correct. The solenoid isn't that simple. Warn used four of them and recently started having Albright manufacture their control packs. Now that I look there are a ton of YouTube videos with schematics and wiring diagrams. These came from screenshots of a...

I found this forum that explains it pretty well. The fact that I have a 24v means I need a big 24v contactor that can handle the loads from this winch at full duty. I have found two that I think will work. One handles the amps from the mfg specs, and one clearly handles more amps than the other...

When you start googling this and get into these off-road forums, these guys are replacing their blown out power packs with Albright contactors and never looking back. I just need the right one! And a very good wiring diagram. Since I have neither the hand heald remote or the power pack, I'll...

I do not believe it is as simple as switching polarity. It can (and is) controlled by contactor relays. The proper replacement part is a Warn part at $368 (finally found the cheapest one out there!) But A $50-$100 contactor relay should do the same thing. The problem is that, while very...

I have a Warn 24v Industrial Series 18 winch without the control pack and wired remote controller. The packs seem to be about $434 and the control $137. Im thinking about going a different route. I see there are a lot of guys who buy these Allbright contactors. Anyone here ever "hot wire" a...
